“A single team. 47 million Argentines. And a clear direction. Make Argentina great again“was the slogan that Patricia Bulltich shared on the X network. The libertarian legislator shared on her social networks a brief spot starring the national soccer team, in different years, just days before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
In this way, the Buenos Aires senator took advantage of the growing World Cup fever to reposition herself for 2027, in view of the general elections of that year. Many estimate that the former presidential candidate of Together for Change will be the bishop chosen by La Libertad Avanza to avoid the re-election of Jorge Macri at the headquarters of the City of Buenos Aires.
Others consider that the former Minister of Security has a solid margin to fight against him. Javier Milei the candidacy in the libertarian internal elections next year and have their revenge for the Rivadavia seat. A personal ambition of the senator that no one is unaware of, especially the Secretary General of the Presidency and top official of the ruling party. Karina Milei.
A few weeks ago, the former Security official began to distance herself publicly from some decisions of the national government. This position allowed him to grow in image and become a reference for sectors of the ruling party itself, businessmen and PRO leaders who imagine a “moderate mileism” in the face of next year’s electoral contest. Some sources assure that he never abandoned his presidential aspiration.
Bullrich’s vision of promoting broad electoral agreements with governors and allies collides head-on with the view of Karina Milei who is still committed to strengthening La Libertad Avanza’s own candidates. Meanwhile, although the president publicly maintains his support for Bullrich, the relationship cooled at the political table. Especially after the senator came forward and asked the Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, to present his sworn declaration of assets.
The Argentine National Team will enter the competition as the current world champion after the title obtained in Qatar 2022. Scaloni’s team will be part of Group J and will debut on Tuesday, June 16 against the Algerian National Team in Kansas. Their second match will be on Monday, June 22 against the Austrian National Team in Dallas, while they will close the group stage on Saturday, June 27 against the Jordanian National Team, again in Dallas. Jordan will also be one of the debuting teams in this World Cup edition.
The new World Cup format will include twelve groups of four teams and an expanded knockout phase of 32 teams. FIFA hopes that the 2026 edition will become the largest and most attended in history, with an absolute record of spectators, matches and commercial revenue. It will also be the first men’s World Cup organized simultaneously by three countries and in 16 different venues distributed throughout North America.
A massive spectacle that the media and social networks of the country will be in suspense for several weeks and that the senator from La Libertad Avanza does not want to miss the opportunity to make it clear that, in the race for 2027, she is also in search of victory.
